Call for Ideas and Mentors for GSoC 2014 DBpedia + Spotlight joint proposal (please contribute within the next days)

We are still in need of ideas and mentors. If you have any improvements on DBpedia or DBpedia Spotlight that you would like to have done, please submit it in the ideas section now. Note that accepted GSoC students will receive about 5000 USD for a three months, which can help you to estimate the effort and size of proposed ideas. It is also ok to extend/amend existing ideas (as long as you don’t hi-jack them). Please edit here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/13YcM-LCs_W3-0u-s24atrbbkCHZbnlLIK3eyFLd7DsI/edit?pli=1

Becoming a mentor is also a very good way to get involved with DBpedia. As a mentor you will also be able to vote on proposals, after Google accepts our project. Note that it is also ok, if you are a researcher and have a suitable student to submit an idea and become mentor. After acceptance by Google the student then has to apply for the idea and get accepted.

Please take some time this week to add your ideas and apply as a mentor, if applicable. Feel free to improve the introduction as well and comment on the rest of the document.
